IMS 2009 Update
The deadline for Paper Submissions (8 Dec. 2008) is approaching. Giving a paper at the IMS is a rewarding experience, and for most of us it is the best way to make sure we will attend. Now is the time to plan your submission. Make sure to review the Call for Papers. All papers submissions are made electronically and instructions are available. If you are a student author, you may be eligible for the Student Paper Competition.
Plans are being finalized for Virtual Participation capability for some IMS2009 events. A number of Workshops, Short Courses and Technical Sessions will be captured with slides plus voice recordings. The Plenary Session and MicroApps will also be recorded. Some of these recording will be available free, others for a fee. If you come to IMS2009, they will be of interest in case you have conflicting events. If you are unable to come to Boston, they can be your opportunity to be a Virtual Participant. The recordings will be available within 24 hours on the end of each event. This is an experimental program, so not all sessions or workshops will be recorded. Make sure to check the IMS2009 Virtual Participation site for more information and updates.
IEEE MTT FELLOWSHIP DEADLINES
Graduate Fellowships
The purpose of the MTT graduate fellowship is to recognize and provide financial assistance to graduate students who show promise and interest in pursuing a graduate degree in microwave engineering.
Up to six $6000 awards may be granted each year. The awards are presented at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in June. Limited travel support is available to enable the winners to attend the IMS.
For more information please visit: http://www.mtt.org/ and select “Students”
All applications should be submitted by December 12th, 2008 to:
Graduate Fellowships for Medical Applications
Two additional graduate fellowships are offered for application of electromagnetics principles to medical problems. These two fellowships follow similar rules to the six listed above, but are due on December 31, 2008.
Submit application for these two fellowships to:
Spring Undergraduate/Pre-Graduate Scholarship
The purpose of the scholarship program is to attract undergraduates to the microwave and RF discipline, and to encourage them to pursue graduate degrees in the field.
Highlights:
- The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) will award up to ten $1500 undergraduate/pre-graduate scholarships for Spring 2009.
- The student must identify a faculty mentor who will supervise the applicant's project or thesis work in the microwave/RF area. Alternatively, project work may be conducted in conjunction with industry, but a faculty mentor must still be identified.
- Applicant must be an IEEE student member, and the faculty mentor must be an IEEE MTT-S member.
Application Deadline: November 15, 2008
Questions may be directed to:
Focused issue on Electromagnetic Simulation Software
The December issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine will focus on Electromagnetic Simulation for RF/Microwave applications. Thirteen feature articles and application notes will explore all aspects of EM simulation software. The articles come from both academia and industry. The issue will be distributed to MTT-S members beginning in mid-November and will be available on XPLORE by the end of December.
